This afternoon I got to watch Frizz and Kate perform at SuperDogs. They were, as always, amazing! Then I found out that while Frizz was having fun here, Magic (Frizz’s dad) was down at the Pet Expo with Dana and Rayn, also having a blast! These two are so much fun. I just love seeing Havanese at play like this! 🌟 🌟🌟

It’s Official — Puppies Are On the Way!

Big news from the puppy nursery: we’re expecting… times two!

Both Luna and Harlow had their ultrasounds today, and we’re thrilled to share that they’re both pregnant! Luna is expecting 4 sweet pups in her final litter, and Harlow is starting her journey as a mama with 6 adorable little ones on the way.

Harlow was especially curious during her appointment—she kept staring at the ultrasound screen like she was trying to count the puppies herself!

Both litters are due mid-May, so get ready for a serious dose of cuteness coming soon. Be sure to check back in about a month for all the puppy updates!

Please note: all puppies from these litters are already spoken for.

Huge Congratulations to Dawn and Cassi!

I’m posting this a few days late, but am very excited to share that Cassi earned her first agility title: CKC Agility Novice Jumper (AG.N.J.S)!!! 🏅 This title also qualifies Cassi for her first versatility title (VN) — a recognition of her accomplishments in three distinct disciplines: conformation, obedience & rally, and agility. 🥳

Once the paperwork clears, Cassi will be BAIS CH Alegria’s Cassiopeia of the Stars with Sonrisas VN AGNJS RI RN ITD NTD-M CGN.

Go TEAM CASSI!!!

Cassi is from our Star Litter (Luna/Magic) and is owned, trained and loved by Dawn 🥰

Congratulations Dawn and Lyra! This past weekend, Lyra earned her Canine Good Neighbour (CGN) certification. Passing the CGN evaluation means that the dog "can be counted on to present good manners at home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs" (https://www.ckc.ca/en/Raising-My-Dog/Responsible-Ownership/Canine-Good-Neighbour). The CGN assesses the handler and dog's relationship and is available to all dogs, regardless of breed.

Lyra is now GCH Alegria's Over the Moon with Lyra CGN, from our Moon litter (Luna/Charlie).
